I am interested in purchasing a close quarter drill for tight work between the studs of a building. For several years now I’ve used a Makita cordless right angle drill (9.6V) and it has been a life saver on numerous occasions. However, this cordless drill does not have enough oomph for some of the tasks I plan to perform, so I want to upgrade to a corded drill below a $200 price tag. Researching the available literature brought out the Milwaukee model 0375-6, 3/8″ drill for $150 at Amazon. Does anyone have any experience with this drill? It does have an interesting feature, namely that the chuck is angled at 55 degrees. Milwaukee touts this feature as affording easier access. To me it seems as if the reverse is true, that a true right angle drill would fit in tighter places. Any comments will be appreciated. Also Sioux Tools has a drill that looks just like the Milwaukee, with identical specs for $135. It would almost seem that Milwaukee built the drill for Sioux or vice versa. I know nothing of Sioux Tools. Is anyone familiar with their products? Thanks ahead of time for any information.
